Chapter 3 Confused
Sending off Frank Gardner, Jonny ran outside with his good friend Jimmy Adams, who he hadn't seen for a long time, since serving as Jonny's agent, Jimmy Adams has been busy, because of Jonny's outstanding performance in his rookie season, there are various endorsement contracts pouring in everywhere, and Jimmy Adams has to negotiate almost every contract in person out of a responsible attitude. ∮
and joined David Falck's agency, and was assigned several players at the bottom of the league by David Falke, and Jimmy Adams, who is getting busier and busier, has recently been thinking about going out on his own in the future, and Jonny's recent better performance has made Jimmy Adams's idea stronger and stronger.
"Jonny, what do you think I'm going to do on my own?" Jimmy Adams thought about it with a frown, then cut a piece of beef and asked.
"Alone?" Jonny was a little surprised.
"Yes, I've been studying in David's company for so long, and I understand a lot, and your annual endorsement now exceeds 2,000w dollars, and the agent's commission is enough for us to open a small company and develop slowly." Jimmy Adams has never been the kind of person who is willing to be lonely, he is a top student at North Lawrence High School, and he has no problem with personal ability, and seeing David Falke calling for wind and rain in the NBA, Jimmy Adams certainly does not want to be silent anymore.
"Enough to open? Then turn it on! "Jonny is also the kind of person who is decisive, as you can see from what happened before, he decisively entered the NBA, and also decisively used the last bit of energy in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
"Good!" As soon as Jonny agreed, the question was much simpler, and Jimmy Adams threw the knife and fork in his hand, and it was officially decided.
As soon as he said it, Jimmy Adams returned to Jonny's apartment and began to plan. Jonny, on the other hand, went to bed early, and he had to go to the team the next day.
Magic management vaguely asked Jonny to attend a press conference, but Jonny didn't think much of it, and the next day, when Jonny and Jimmy Adams arrived at the Amway Center, the press conference was already set up. Jonny had the first hint of suspicion, because it wasn't like a press conference for a rookie tryout at all! Instead, it's like a press conference for a rookie to join.
"Did the team sign any players?" Jonny was a little confused.
He walked to the second floor to the office of John Gabriel, the team's general manager, and when he pushed open the office door, Jonny saw several people in the office.
First up is the team's general manager, John Gabriel, who is sitting in his big back chair, while on the couch in front of him are Anfernee Hardaway, Denis Scott, an old man Jonny doesn't know, and of course a few staff members from the team's management.
Anfernee Hardaway was happily talking to the old man whom Jonny didn't know, and he looked surprised when he saw Jonny walk in. Then he stood up, pointed to the old man, and immediately introduced Jonny.
"Jonny, come, get to know this respected veteran in the league, Mr. Chuck Daley!" Anfernee Hardaway's introduction left Jonny scratching his head, Chuck Daley? What is this guy doing with Magic?
And looking at Jonny's expression for no reason. Anfernee Hardaway smiled again and continued: "Mr. Chuck Daly will be our head coach next season! ”
"Coach!?" Jonny was momentarily stunned. "Where's the strange?"
"He's out of class." At this time, John Gabriel, who was sitting in the big back chair, spoke, and he gave an explanation.
"Class?" Jonny was a little reluctant to accept that Ricky Adubatu was his Bole and his mentor, starting with the summer league and officially becoming the acting head coach of the Magic by Ricky Adubatu. Jonny has received a lot of help from Ricky Adubatu, and it can be said that Jonny is very reluctant to see Richie Adubatu leave. And Jonny thought of the other side, the magic manager didn't say hello to him in advance, which was a bit disrespectful to him.
Whether it's from the performance of the regular season or the performance of the playoffs. Jonny is at least one of the cores of the Magic, and Jonny has played in the NBA for a year, and he also knows that in general, the team's core players will be notified in advance by the management of such a major event as a change of coach, and even ask the opinions of the core players, while the Magic not only did not ask Jonny's opinion, but also did not even get notice, until the team was about to hold a press conference, he did not know about it.
Thinking of this, Jonny instantly became angry: "Why don't I know about the change of coach?" Also, Why replace Richie? Didn't he do a good job? ”
Jonny's venting made Anfernee Hardaway, who was still laughing just now, instantly cold his face: "Richie's performance in the Eastern Conference semifinals, is it strange to replace him?" ”
Jonny frowned suddenly, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, at that time Jonny was also dissatisfied with Ricky Adubatu, this fat old man had nothing to do when the team was going through a crisis, and in the end it was Jonny's outburst that brought the magic out. But Jonny doesn't think an Eastern Conference semifinals Magic should get Ricky Adubatu out of class.
"But we still won, and in the Eastern Conference Finals, we could have played like that without Richie's adjustments?" Jonny gave the example of the Eastern Conference Finals, because it was Ricky Adubatu's adjustment that put Darryl Armstrong in the starting lineup that helped the Magic win two games in a row.
After Jonny finished speaking, Anfernee Hardaway stopped talking, and Jonny swept around the silent office, and finally stared at the somewhat embarrassed Chuck Daley, spit out a circle of words, and then turned around and left.
"Richie is gone, then I'm going too, trade me as soon as possible!"
In addition to the office, Jonny felt that the anger in his heart became more and more irrepressible, and he kicked the flower pot in the hallway, and the sound of jingling came out, and at this time, the office was almost at the same time, and he didn't know who lifted the table.
But the roar that followed seemed to let Jonny know what was going on.
John Gabriel roared: "Deal, deal, deal!" Go-you--! ”
Jimmy Adams followed Jonny downstairs downstairs, and the reporters who were already waiting downstairs for the press conference also seemed to find that something was wrong, when they found Jonny who was walking downstairs with a gloomy face, they knew that something must have happened to Magic just now, maybe Jonny and someone quarreled, and they also knew that it must be an important person in Magic who could appear upstairs, so these reporters' unique sense of smell made them smell the smell, and they were immediately excited and surrounded Jonny.
"Jonny, can you tell me what just happened?"
"Mr. Jonny, did you quarrel with anyone?"
"Mr. Jonny, who was you arguing with just now?"
And Jimmy Adams immediately opened his arms to block the reporter in front of him, escorted Jonny out of the arena, and kept saying, "I'm sorry, we don't accept interviews." (To be continued, please search, the novel is better and faster!)
